Last night i tried to boot my computer and my bios said "Inserted correct boot disk and press any button to continue" (yes it said inserted and button) i was thinking WTF! So I booted into slax of my flash drive and my 10gig and 80gig harddrives werent showing up but my 500 was still there. So i booted into pebooter hoping chkdsk could fix it. NOPE! I hooked the disks up to a laptop using a ide->usb converter and found a program that looks through the entire drive for data the scan took all night just with the 10gb and it didnt even work.
At about 6:30 this morning my freind brought over Partition Table Doctor and it scanned both disks for 2 secs and found all partions and MBRs and FIXED them. I was sooooooooo happy!

You guys probably dont care about my story but I just feel so happy i gotta tell everyone i can :)

That program also works on some linux format partitions and has a bootable cd.

EDIT: it supports FAT16/ FAT32/NTFS/EXT2/EXT3/SWAP

Strange. Have you been decorating your computer with refrigerator magnets?

No. All the data was there just the filesystem MBR was missing causing them to show up as raw blank disks
